background: lipase is an enzyme with immense application potential. ester synthesis by lipase catalysis in organic media is an area of key industrial relevance. enzymatic preparations with traits that cater to the needs of this function are hence being intensely researched. objective: the objectives of the study were to immobilize the lipase from bacillus sp. ps35 by cross-linking and adsorptio...

Background: Plant biomass and agricultural waste products disposal is a serious problem in agriculture based countries. These wastes, usually rich in xylan can be satisfactorily converted to industrially important and useful products by efficient biotechnological application of potent xylanase producing bacteria which generally have high temperature and pH optima....

We report the main characteristics of 'Bacillus dakarensis' P3515T sp. nov., 'Bacillus sinesaloumensis' P3516T sp. nov., 'Gracilibacillus timonensis' P2481T sp. nov., 'Halobacillus massiliensis' P3554T sp. nov., 'Lentibacillus massiliensis' P3089T sp. nov., 'Oceanobacillus senegalensis' P3587T sp. nov., 'Oceanobacillus timonensis' P3532T sp. nov., 'Virgibacillus dakarensis' P3469T sp. nov. and ...

optimization of the fermentation medium for maximum alkaline protease production was carried out. fifteen positive isolates were examined for their extent of alkaline protease production. the most potent producer was identified as bacillus sp. the solid substrate screening showed that the combination of wheat straw and bean husk was the best one. the initial screening by using plackett–burman’s...

The aim of this study was the isolation of Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. strains from rhizospheric soil and monitoring the impact of two isolates denoted as P12 (Pseudomonas sp.) and B1 (Bacillus sp.) on the parameters of English ryegrass (Lolium perenne) yield and activity of the soil microbial communities. During 2012-2014, a plot experiment was set up following the randomized block system...

The antimicrobial activity of five sanitizing agents employed in clean areas designated for the pharmaceutical manufacturing of sterile products was tested against nine microorganisms, including four microorganisms from the clean area microbiota. The method consisted of challenging 5 mL of each sanitizing agent 70% isopropyl alcohol, 0.4% LPH®, 1.16% hydrogen peroxide, 4% hydrogen peroxide, 1% ...
